Description

1,3-Dioleoyl-2-decanoyl glycerol is a structured triglyceride (TAG) where the sn-1 and sn-3 positions are esterified with oleic acid and the sn-2 position is esterified with decanoic acid. This specific molecular architecture is significant for its unique physicochemical and metabolic properties, making it a valuable synthetic lipid for advanced research and formulation. It is primarily utilized by scientists and product developers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and specialty chemical industries for applications requiring precise lipid structures.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research: Used as a model compound or excipient in lipid-based drug delivery systems (LBDDS) to enhance the solubility and bioavailability of poorly water-soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Nutraceutical Development: Serves as a structured lipid in the formulation of specialized medical nutrition and dietary supplements, particularly those designed for targeted metabolic effects.
• Biochemical Studies: Acts as a substrate or standard in enzymatic studies (e.g., lipase activity assays) and metabolic pathway research related to lipid digestion and absorption.
• Cosmetic Science: Employed in high-end skincare and cosmetic formulations as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent with specific spreading and texture properties.
• Chemical Synthesis: Functions as a key intermediate or building block for the synthesis of more complex lipids, phospholipids, or other ester derivatives.
• Food Science Research: Investigated for its potential in creating novel food lipids with tailored nutritional profiles and functional characteristics.

Quality Control

Our production of 1,3-Dioleoyl-2-decanoyl glycerol adheres to stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity suitable for research and development. Each lot is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as identity, purity, and fatty acid composition. We can provide material tailored to specific project requirements, including research-grade and high-purity standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to minimize oxidation. Allow the container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
